Building running technique without a coach or camera might seem impossible at first, but it is, in fact, the best approach for runners of all levels to make steady improvements.

In this video, Coach Nate shares a sensory-based approach to run technique using what you feel and what you hear to make critical adjustments and changes. Normally, this type of exercise would be very difficult to do while listening to music or a podcast, but thanks to Aftershokz over-ear headphones and bone conduction technology, you can actually do both. Pretty cool.

I’m 67 years old and have never been a fast runner. However, in the 7 years (yes, I started not long before my 60th birthday) I’ve been running, through trial and error, a bit of reading, and listening to my body, I’ve really gotten a feel for what works. I’ve now run 110 half marathons, and while a 10-mile run once was a painful experience, anything less than a half marathon training run no longer even feels like a long run. I’ve become a person who can impart running wisdom to novice and beginner runners. This video, and the one that talks about gradually growing your long runs, are spot on. Their examples are precisely what I have learned over the years. Definitely follow their advice, and you will become a better runner.

Thank you so much. I'm a "self-taught" runner and have been running for 5+ years. I have never looked at my mechanics in depth and have had some recent injuries. Used this technique on a run today and felt great! Thank you!!!

I have probably watched this video 15 times to get it in my head. Yesterday, I heard Nate's voice in my head to lift my chin. What???? So I lifted my chin and was shocked to feel a change happen through my entire body. I had no idea. i guess sometimes it takes 15 views to get it right.

For shoulder and arm relaxation Emil Zatopek's tip: Gently touch your thumb with fingertips while running.

The foot slapping definitely resonates with me towards the end of a long run, I’ll try and relax my ankles next time! Great video as always 👌

LOVE my Aftershokz! Best choice for being able to have music, my tracking app, and the environment around all going at the same time. PLUS, i have very small ear canals and have had such a hard time finding earbuds that would stay in my ears. I love the fact that I can still hear what is going on in my environment, especially when I run alone. I love all of The Run Experience videos. Thank you,

Great video. Thanks for the tip on body awareness which is super important. I like about " it"s not about running fast but cadence" never knew about it before. Thank you🙏.
